SI joint fusion

I had my left SI joint fused 4 weeks ago and think something is wrong as it is painful to put any pressure through my left leg to walk.

It feels like a nerve is impinged as the pain goes from buttock at the site of the fusion down to my foot when trying to walk.

Has anyone else had this surgery as I am interested to hear other people's experience. So far I can only find discussion groups where people have not had scoliosis and revision surgeries so I'm assuming it would not be a similar experience.

Upon discharge I was told I could do more or less anything with no restrictions but a week later I had to go back for crutches to assist with walking as it was too uncomfortable. I was advised the pain shouldn't get any worse over the next few weeks but it has in my case.

I have an appointment in 10 days so will hopefully be able to discuss my concerns then.
